On Wednesday we welcomed seven new members of our school community - the St. Mary's Prayer Bears! We have been speaking with the children about the importance of prayer time in our lives and how prayer can strengthen our relationship with God. 

Prayer can take many forms including meditation, singing, dancing, reciting traditional prayers and spontaneous prayer throughout the day. Each class was presented with a St. Mary's prayer bear during our assembly. Our bears will help us to think about our spirituality and teach us about different forms of prayer.
